Anti Litter Competition Results

Anti Litter challenge results 2015 Septemberjpg_Page1 (600 x 424)Howdy folks, as requested here are the full results of  the Anti Litter Competition 2015. Not a bad result. As you can see from results our strongest week was our last week @ 996.60 points. The first rounds, there was a huge amount points lost and a big part of that was due to cigarette butts on the street. There are plenty of bins in town and also outside almost all of the pubs and fast food restaurants in town have outdoor ashtrays. So there really is no excuse for cigarette butts being thrown around the street. Please just take a minute when you put it out and then just bin it. Again congratulations to all involved, massive result.

Amazing Result in Anti Litter Challenge

Anti Litter Comp CertificateHot off the presses lads and lassies, Millstreet has just received 2nd place in our Category for Anti Litter Challenge 2015. Dunmanway placed 1st and Blarney placed 3rd, which is not bad company to be in at all.  This is an amazing result. All the hard work and effort that the people of this town have put into this competition this year has really  paid off. The place of 2nd place comes with a prize fund of €1200 which will go a long way to help Millstreet Tidy Town with their annual spend which can run up to €10000. So be very proud of yourselves people, even the smallest effort is so appreciated. Keep up the good work. We would also like to thank Cork County Council, sponsors of the annual competition. First place next year is on the horizon. The excitement is building, bring on the Tidy Town results and lest we forget the Best Commercial and Best Residential Competition the Millstreet Tidy Town are running this year.

A Little Help

kids-cleaning (561 x 454)A Little help goes a long way, and never a truer word was said when it comes to Millstreet  Tidy Town Association. Everybody can do a little bit, even something as small as sweeping the pavement outside your house or picking up that one piece of litter on the way home or running to the shop. All these little acts make a huge difference to your community and environment. So grab a sweeping brush, or a pair of gloves and give a quick scoot around your area, just outside your door or front gate. It will make a massive difference and it only takes 2 minutes out of your day. Lets make Millstreet a tidier and more beautiful place to live.

Many Hands Make Light Work

rubbish killareney roadTonight on Facebook a debate has begun about the roads leading into Millstreet. This morning this bag and a half of rubbish was picked up between Killarney Road and Tubrid Well, a stretch of road of about 1/2 of kilometre. It is sad to think that in this day and age when litter awareness is almost everywhere that this still goes on. But this act does show that even the smallest of effort can make a massive difference to our town.  A massive thanks to this individual, it is people like you that embody the Tidy Town Spirit and Community Spirit that is valued in Millstreet. We are aware that there are many unsung heroes in our town that all play a massive part in keeping our town beautiful and to all of you we say thank you.
